DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant; Udo Hoffmann MD MPH is a clinically active staff radiologist in the Division of Cardiac Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. Over the last 10 years Dr. Hoffmann's research has focused on the feasibility, accuracy, and clinical utility of advanced cardiovascular imaging, specifically the role of cardiac CT in ischemic heart disease. Dr. Hoffmann's prior mentoring experience, his publication and funding record together with his current and planned research support in "Cardiovascular Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease" demonstrate his commitment and passion for Patient Oriented Research and provide an excellent foundation to accomplish the goals and objectives of the K24 Award. The specific aims addressing the purpose of the K24 Award are: 1) To enable Dr. Hoffmann to dedicate 25% of his time to mentor junior clinical investigators based on already NIH funded projects in "Cardiovascular Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease"; 2) To mentor junior clinical investigators from the T-32 program and the pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty in Cardiology and Radiology with the goal to develop them into clinical researchers who can successfully compete for peer reviewed grants; and 3) To enable Dr. Hoffmann to further establish a patient orientated research program that combines innovative translational, clinical, and outcomes research in cardiovascular imaging and that provides an ideal environment to develop future leaders in clinical research. Dr. Hoffmann's role as the Director of the Cardiac MR CT PET Program, a clinical research program in cardiovascular imaging supported by the Division of Cardiology and the Department of Radiology and Dr. Hoffmann's responsibilities as the Co-director of a T32 training grant in cardiovascular imaging, in addition to the strong commitment he received from the leadership of both Cardiology and Radiology provide an environment that is ideal to successfully mentor junior clinical investigators and fulfill the purpose of the K24 Award. The specific research aims of this grant stem from a significant body of work accomplished over the past few years and are all based on on-going NIH funded projects, except Aim 4 which is new research specifically supported by this grant: 1) Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease - Association with Risk factors and Clinical Outcomes in the Framingham Heart Study, 2) Comparing Competing Diagnostic Strategies to Triage Patients with Acute Chest Pain in the ED - A Randomized Diagnostic Multicenter Trial with the major goal to determine whether cardiac CT is more efficient in the management of patients with acute chest pain than standard of care, 3) Comparing Competing Diagnostic Strategies in the Patients with Stable Chest Pain - Diagnostic Efficiency of Cardiac CT vs. Standard of Care - The "Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain" (PROMISE), and 4) Combining high sensitivity troponin, a new improved biomarker assay, with cardiac CT to determine the etiology of myocardial injury and improve the efficacy of detecting acute coronary syndrome due to coronary artery disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请人; Udo Hoffmann MD MPH是马萨诸塞州总医院心脏成像部临床活跃的放射科医生，也是哈佛医学院放射学副教授。在过去的10年里，Hoffmann博士的研究重点是先进心血管成像的可行性、准确性和临床实用性，特别是心脏CT在缺血性心脏病中的作用。Hoffmann博士之前的指导经验，他的出版和资助记录以及他目前和计划中的“缺血性心脏病心血管成像”研究支持证明了他对以患者为导向的研究的承诺和热情，并为实现K24奖的目标和目的提供了良好的基础。K24奖的具体目标是：1）使霍夫曼博士能够将25%的时间用于指导初级临床研究人员，这些研究人员基于NIH资助的“缺血性心脏病心血管成像”项目; 2）指导来自T-32项目的初级临床研究人员和住院医师，研究员，以及心脏病学和放射学的初级教师，目标是将他们培养成能够成功竞争同行评审赠款的临床研究人员;和3）使霍夫曼博士能够进一步建立一个以患者为导向的研究计划，结合创新的翻译，临床，和心血管成像的结果研究，并提供了一个理想的环境，培养未来的领导者在临床研究。Hoffmann博士担任心脏MR CT PET项目主任，该项目是由心脏科和放射科支持的心血管成像临床研究项目，Hoffmann博士担任心血管成像T32培训补助金的联合主任，除了他从心脏病学和放射学的领导层那里得到的坚定承诺外，他还提供了一个理想的环境，可以成功地指导初级临床研究者，并实现K24奖的目的。该补助金的具体研究目标源于过去几年完成的大量工作，并且都是基于正在进行的NIH资助项目，除了目标4，这是该补助金专门支持的新研究：1）亚临床心血管疾病-与心脏病研究中的风险因素和临床结局的相关性，2）比较竞争性诊断策略与艾德中急性胸痛患者的分诊-一项随机诊断多中心试验，主要目标是确定心脏CT在急性胸痛患者的管理中是否比标准治疗更有效，3）比较稳定性胸痛患者中的竞争性诊断策略-心脏CT与标准护理的诊断效率-“用于评价胸痛的前瞻性多中心成像研究”（PROMISE），以及4）结合高灵敏度肌钙蛋白，一种新的改进的生物标志物测定，与心脏CT结合，以明确心肌损伤的病因，提高对冠心病所致急性冠脉综合征的检出率。
